WWE have confirmed Braun Strowman suffered a “shattered elbow” after a brutal attack on Monday Night Raw.
The Monster Among Men was left bloodied and beaten following the triple assault dished out by Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.
Fans were immediately worried for the giant’s wellbeing as he was heard telling medics: “I can’t feel my fingers right now.”
Strowman, who helped Raw to a clean sweep at Survivor Series, is due to face acting general manager Corbin in the main event at WWE’s next pay-per-view, TLC, on December 17.
He will receive a shot at Brock Lesnar’s Universal Title at the Royal Rumble if he emerges triumphant.
However, his participation at TLC is now under threat after the company released a statement on his condition. And it was not good news for Strowman and his fans.
“As reported by Michael Cole during the Monday Night Raw broadcast, Braun Strowman suffered a shattered elbow at the hands of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin,” the statement read.
“During tonight’s Six-Man Elimination Tag Team Match, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin brutally assaulted Braun Strowman and smashed The Monster Among Men’s right arm with the steel steps.
“WWE.com can confirm that Strowman sustained serious injuries in the attack, and is undergoing evaluation by WWE medical personnel to determine the extent of the damage.”
The blow is most likely part of WWE’s storyline but only last week Becky Lynch suffered a broken nose on Raw.
The SmackDown Live Women’s champion led an invasion on the red brand’s female roster but was caught with a fist by Nia Jax during the melee.
Medics ruled her out of her champion-vs-champion showdown with Ronda Rousey at Sunday’s Survivor Series, with Charlotte Flair stepping in to take her place.
